Silsilah is an Arabic word which literally means chain or link.
As used by the Sufis (Muslim Mystics), it describes a process in attaining an experience of the Divine. The same root word is used as "geneological tree" which helps to think about a spiritual chain of humanity as created by the same God. Thus, "Silsilah" in the Movement is taken as an inspiring and key word to describe Muslims, Christians and other people of living faiths who are moving together as one universal family towards a common vision and mission of dialogue and peace
